US and China plan further AI talks after Trump’s positive assessment
Jamieson Greer says another meeting is planned within a month, while key questions on AI safety and chip licensing remain unresolved.
US President Donald Trump called his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping “very productive” in a Friday post, but offered few details about what the two sides had agreed or what would follow.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Washington and Beijing were working to establish communication channels on artificial intelligence, with another meeting planned within the next month. The date, participants and agenda have not been specified.
Greer said the talks had not covered licences for sales of a small amount of high-quality US-made chips. He described those chips as central to US technological leadership, and said such conversations were not taking place in the current negotiations.
Trump also said Xi seemed receptive to calling artificial intelligence “super intelligence”, claiming “everyone” had agreed. The source account provides no detail on any agreement; Trump has separately said the term would be used in US government documents.
The visit produced no major breakthroughs on trade or AI safety, according to Al Jazeera’s account. Xi’s three-day state visit included a state dinner hosted by Trump on Thursday.
